Outside of this being a rare road series victory against a playoff team nonetheless, my favorite part of tonight’s game was that it came in aBartolo Colonstart for the New York Mets. Since joining the club a few years ago, he andJon Niesehave been perpetual thorns in the sides of the Atlanta Braves offense.

Atlanta had nine hits again tonight, withCameron Maybinleading the Braves’ starters with a pair of singles. The heavy lifting tonight was done by our slick-fielding, slugger first basemanFreddie Freemanwho didn’t actually start the ball game. Freeman had a pinch hit double in the top of the seventh in place of Braves SPWilliams Perez. Freddie stayed in the game and had the go-ahead three-run homer to give the Atlanta Braves the final score of 6-3.
Perez looked strong tonight going against Colon. Williams went six innings, allowing two earned runs on sevens hits. He also struck out a pair, walking only one. Perez’s ERA on the year is just a tad over 5.00 at 5.04. His last four starts have been great. ThoughWilliams Perezgot the no-decision tonight, he kept the team in the ball game until Freeman delivered the knockout punch a few innings later.

Heading into a travel day before the Atlanta Braves take on the Miami Marlins for a weekend series, the club cannot lose more than 100 games this season! Take a brief moment…breathe…and then celebrate. At 62-91 with only 9 games remaining, your 2015 Atlanta Braves will likely not be a 100 loss ball club!
It’s the little things, guys, like not losing 100 times in a calendar that make me proud of this Atlanta Braves team. The starting rotation is getting better and have had a strong September as a group, with the exception ofShelby Miller. Offensively the club put together some runs the last two nights. The bullpen isn’t terrible anymore. Baby steps, folks. With nothing more to play for than pride in the last nine games of 2015, here’s to the Atlanta Braves ending the year on a positive note. Go Braves!
